Put a few extra rivnuts in and you've easy access for a periodic squirts. -
Thanks. I will do some research into this. It's likely that I will be doing my own blockwork so there would be no installation cost (just my time) associated with the mineral wool. I would, presumably, have to pay someone else to install the beads so this might be a deciding factor for me. -
The relevance of the 1m for building control is that the building must be constructed in such a way to restrict/control fire (for you and your neighbours). (Planning allows you to build as close as 50mm to a boundary). Our new build (on an existing site) will sit 1030mm from our neighbours one side and 1500mm the other. In both cases there is a shared access alley between us. -
EPS beads here. They're fine although I am slightly suspicious of the claimed k value of 0.033. I think 0.035-0.037 world be closer in reality. Over all would recommend. -
Pretty much as the top part in the photos above. Trap some SS mesh in the vertical battens and fold over the inner vertical boarding. There's a little ledge under the eaves created by this approach which isn't ideal. The alternative would be to attach the ss mesh on the surface of the inner boards and run upwards to another fixing point but it's a lot more hassle.
